iGehry Building at MIT

Extensively smudged iPhone image

This image was captured at MIT in Boston and is one of Gehry's famous buildings. I used the ProHDR camera app on my iPhone4. I chose to process it using smudging in PhotoForge. When you smudge, you are using the 'paint' from the photograph. Smudging is like painting to me. I have the palette all full of colors and now I get to create my artistic piece. This process is done on my iPad with my finger.

I fell in love with this concept of painting my images at a PhotoShop World workshop. I loved the how you could use Corel Painter and a Wacom tablet to achieve this wonderful look. However I don't own Corel Painter or a Wacom Tablet, so I never painted my images. Besides who wants to sit in a desk chair at your computer and paint? Not me! So now I get to curl up in my favorite chair in front of a warm fire with my iPad and smudge to my hearts content. I hope an app for painting images with different brushes is coming soon. Anyone know of one?

As you see by the long list of processing techniques, it is really an involved image, very time consuming! Much patience is needed. I am very happy with the result! What do you think?
